Today it was a real Chinese day. Today was very intense in terms of my studies of Chinese [this makes sense but sounds awful...try to rephrase whatever you want to say]. Nastya and I translated lots of a lot of/many/(dozens of, hundreds of) package (wrappings) labels and other stuff [2] things/items she's received/she had received from Taobao. The main problem of with learning that language [3] Chinese is mastering the tones/the problem with Chinese is learning the tones. I Still cannot put [4] all the parts (char [characters?], meaning, pronunciation and tone) together in my head. But the char-meaning [??]part goes is going really smoothly.

[1] what does that mean?

[2] 'stuff' is very informal, better to avoid it in writing.

[3] 'that language' can be used only if you just mentioned exactly which language

[4] always use the personal pronoun

Today it really was a Chinese practice day. Nastya and I translated lots of package wrappings or "package wrappers" and other stuff she's received from TaoBao. The main problem of learning this language is the tones. I still cannot put all the parts (character, meaning, pronunciation, and tone) together in my head. But the character-meaning part goes really smooth for me. or "But I don't have a problem with remembering the meanings of the various kanji characters."

Great job!

Today it was a real Chinese day. Nastya and I translated lots of package wrappings and other stuff she's received from TaoBao. The main problem of learning that language is the tone system. Still cannot put all the parts (char, meaning, pronunciation and tone) together in my head. But the char-meaning part goes really smooth.
